Why George Orwell's 1984 still matters, 70 years since publication
George Orwell's dystopian classic 1984 was published 70 years ago, on June 8, 1949. The novel was an immediate success, selling more than a quarter of a million copies in the first six months and spending 20 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. A grim depiction of an authoritarian future, it was compared to an earthquake, a bundle of dynamite and the label on a bottle of poison.
1984 is the story of two lovers, Winston and Julia, set in a brutal state of fear, perpetual war, mass surveillance and distorted reality. It has inspired many adaptations, including a 1949 NBC radio drama, a 1954 BBC teleplay and a popular 1984 movie, starring John Hurt and Richard Burton.
In 2017, the expression "alternative facts" — used by the office of U.S. President Donald Trump — prompted renewed interest in 1984. At the same time, English writer and critic Dorian Lynskey was working on a new book about the novel.
In The Ministry of Truth: A Biography of George Orwell's 1984, Lynskey traces the events in Orwell's life that shaped the writing of 1984. He also explores the novel's immense cultural influence — on politics, language, music and advertising — and how its relevance has shifted over the decades.
Dorian Lynskey spoke to Eleanor Wachtel from the CBC's London studio.
George Orwell, pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, was a British novelist and essayist, journalist and critic. (Penguin Canada)
An ode to Orwell
"The idea for this book came about because I was interested in the history of dystopias, but I didn't know exactly how these dystopian tropes evolved. My research took me back to the utopian fiction boom of the late 19th century. From there, I thought the way to tell that story is through 1984.
"My book, The Ministry of Truth, however, goes in a different direction and becomes much more interested in Orwell's biography. As a journalist, I was drawn to Orwell's essays and some of his other nonfiction."
Definitive dystopia
"The book 1984 is one that tends to have a visceral effect on the reader, especially when you're young. It's so bleak. It's so vivid. But there's so much information in it that you can't really process. It certainly introduced me to the genre, particularly since there wasn't a lot of popular young adult dystopian fiction at the time.
"It was my introduction to the idea of dark futures. Even now, it's the quintessential dark future. As an adult revisiting it, it's very rewarding to discover how rich and complicated the book is. It doesn't necessarily strike you that way the first time you read it."

Orwellian thought process
"He was a uniquely gifted essayist because he was able to get across quite complex ideas with the utmost clarity. He had this particular voice where he always seemed like he was on your side; he was just writing what a 'normal common sense guy' would think if that 'normal common sense guy' was uncannily articulate. I did read everything he wrote: The Complete Works of George Orwell is a twenty-volume series, which is estimated to be around two million words. So there's a lot.
"I became very drawn to his honesty and his trying to tell the truth while being aware that you can never tell a purely objective truth. His quest was to constantly acknowledge his biases, understand his mistakes and always to think more clearly.
"That's inspiring as a writer. It's also inspiring as a citizen in politically difficult times. It's about the attempt to try and prevent your brain from lying to you, which is, of course, one of the great themes of Orwell's work and a theme of 1984 — how you deceive yourself without necessarily needing anybody else to do it for you."

Reply to @Don Brown:
I'd say it's used more by Trudeau. Trump is terribly dishonest, but the
only one he is convincing is himself, and I'm not even sure of that.
Trudeau uses invented phrases and that glaring fake sincerity, all the
while doing the opposite of what he says.
Trump is at least all over the map. He does what he says because he says everything and even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Trudeau says a lot of words with no meaning, and does no actions, at least no actions that match his words, particularly well exemplified by the Wilson-Raybould/Philpott matter and the blackface.

Somebody needs to tell the online data miners that 1984 is not an instruction manual. Just about every form of surveillance from that book is currently in use... some of it was in use before 1984. It's frightening how Orwell's night mare has become our reality.

Before I would even think about picking up this novel so I can fully understand it’s context; I would :
A. Cloak yourself with extensive knowledge about the history of both right/left totalitarian regimes. How did this happen? And what methods were used to keep the masses in check?
B. I would read all of these first, because it gives you a great insight into the personal experiences and character of George Orwell: “Down and out in Paris and London” “Burmese Days” “The road to Wigan Pier” “Homage to Catalonia.” Then jump into “Animal Farm”, and finish it with 1984.

Robert Edward Cox
I have only recently considered that the dystopian novels, 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World and Golding's Lord of the Flies were 'end-of-empire' regrets by British writers. In the present, these are now "old" models and Margaret Atwwod has supplied a few new ones, amidst a new crumbling of another empire, USA and the West. "Darkness" is now a regular theme in action movies, and I dare say the Canadian Liberal party is coming from darkness in their campaign posters of candidates wearing black shirts, and of course Justin now the epitome of Shadow personality.

1984 became our reality sometime around 2007 when we started buying into social media. Now it's a tool of mass manipulation. History is being altered, words sanitized. Freedom of expression for those who are not far left or right is done at your own risk. It feels like the world is becoming a weird place for those of us in the middle who try to be objective and have no real agenda to pursue. Oh yes, I'd like to have my more reasonable and objective friend named CBC back. Come back to the middle...we have cookies!
Philip
Anderson
Reply to @Michael
Peacock: very well said. I'd go further to say the way we use social
media in the west is destroying our humanity. I think currently we in
the west live in the diametric opposite world to Orwells vision - we are
destroying ourselves not by endless restriction, but through endless
freedom - freedom to harm others at will, whatever our reason. We turn
and violently attack each other online with the most meagre of
provocations. China & Russia, even in their rather Orwellian
surveillance states, I have no doubt they look at how we treat one
another, and justifiably wonder how we could ever think we have a better
way of living than they do. The way we as north Americans conduct
ourselves online is absolutely disgusting- not to mention profoundly
uncivilized- future historians, should freedom of expression survive the
next century, will convict us for our myopic, narcissistic, completely
self destructive stupidity, and we will deserve every ounce of their
criticism. Wed like to, but we cant blame this on the failures of
christianity or politicians, this is a current mass collective failure
as a society. Clear laws governing appropriate conduct online are
needed as how it "works" now isn't working. Walking up to someone and
spitting in their face is assault, so should online abuse also be
prosecutable offenses. If we won't willingly choose to be civil to one
another in our discourse with others, then perhaps some other forces
need to make us, some other forces who are able to accomplish this goal
yet wise enough to heed the warning given by Orwell stay away from
creating the mirror image of the horrible world he envisioned.

don't often, or ever, see people being harassed or persecuted in my day
to day life. I see a lot of people with mental health/drug addictions
and the rest of us with our noses buried in our phones. Can we at least
put our phones down and walk faster across the street again

If we accept that the great majority of citizens are sleeping their way through life, we can support the thesis that totalitarianism is inevitable because there are insufficient rebels or radical thinkers able to mount opposition to 'the makers of truth'. dystopia seems likely once social structures like capitalism are accepted as the most productive and fair, which it isn't. The opposite ideology of communism which is more supportive of dictators and manipulating truth to maintain power, dystopia seems to flourish in both societies. The opposition of Hongkongers to Chinese Beijing control raises the ire of leaders and the option of another Tian anmen Square suppression of opposition and democratic influences (activists). The Ministry of Truth is busy attempting to convince Hongkongers that they are Chinese first and free, Perhaps?
Chris Halford
Reply to @Roger R. Fontaine:
I agree with some of what you say, particularly about Hong Kong. However, totalitarianism doesn't just rely on an apathetic population but also requires an unscrupulous and relentless leader who cows his or her immediate colleagues into submission - luckily, that doesn't happen all the time, in fact it happens rarely, although rarely is too often. I also disagree with the attempt to portray pure capitalism as the default system in most "democratic" countries when it isn't. As far as I know there are no countries that practice pure capitalism any more than there are any that practice pure socialism. There is an infinite number of potential mixtures of varying degrees of capitalism or socialism in practically any policy area. The political arguments are around that mix in realty, even when political parties pretend to be one or another. In my opinion, every government should have some aspects of socialsm because the whole purpose of government is to serve its people but you have to fund those services somehow.

I loved this book. As a 1969/70 high school student I was introduced to it along with Animal Farm & Huxley's Brave New World. I took the love of those books to University where I had a conversation with an English Literature Prof. The Prof was a wonderful man who said lets set up a special studies class for you, one on one. For 2 years I got to look at Utopian and Distopian literature and discuss with him in his office the workings and warpings of society.
This Book Matters every bit today as it did the day it was written. Frankly even more so.

One of the significant points in the novel and today is the increasing problem of getting the truth and having it exposed to the people.
More sources of media, more players who control large diverse media publications can in effect put their version of the facts or an entirely unfactual version of the story on so many sites nearly becomes truth. To the average person, knowledge of who owns or directs specific media is unknown, the writer, publisher, and money may come from very biased and directed representations of the political spectrum.
We all need to take many more sources of information in order to see the contradictions that hopefully will lead us to question the facts and dig deeper. Reliance on a website or single news outlet to tell us the untarnished facts is a risk and can lead into the world Orwell describes where the media telss us what we 'need' to know not what is true.

I think Orwell saw language as the most effective and the most dangerous weapon wielded by humans. He seemed almost obsessed with language. His admonitions on language is particularly relevant today. War is peace - and, deplatforming is free speech.

I recall that when the year 1984 came along, George H Bush ironically proclaimed that Orwell was all washed up.
Since then, his progeny and his successors have proceeded to authorize the creation of a police state network the characters of Orwell's 1984 would recognize all too well.

The book is of particular relevance in today's world with the control of information through the internet, and the powerful gatekeepers such as Facebook, google,and twitter. As well as the group think of the MSM which made things like the Russia collusion hysteria possible. Trump exploited the new digital media information world, but I think he will be the last, judging by the censorship movements such as "twitter ban". A good example of this is an excellent candidate for democrats like Tulsi Gabbard who has a lawsuit against google as she and her campaign have been shadow banned and basically do not exist. As a combat veteran, experienced in Iraq, and social progressive, she is against American perpetual war, and that just won't do in our modern 1984.

Burnham: yes, but I've little sympathy for Tulsi Gabbard - you will
recall that Kamala Harris opened up on Joe Biden in the first debate.
By all appearances, rather than take on a minority female the Biden
campaign fed another minority female the dirt on Kamala Harris - and
that other female minority was Tulsi Gabbard who then attacked Harris on
her record as a prosecutor - research that seemed unlikely for her to
have gotten by herself.

Andrew Baldwin
This was a wonderful interview about Orwell’s masterpiece. I particularly enjoyed Lynskey’s comparison of “1984” with Yevgeny Zamyatin’s “We”. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the whiff of Trump Derangement Syndrome that hung around it. It seems no CBC Radio program is uncorrupted by it. It was fair for Lynskey to mention Kellyanne Conway’s “alternative facts” remark, since apparently it did lead to an upsurge in sales of Orwell’s book. However to see the Big Brother figures in the world today as mainly right wing populists is a real stretch. Justin Trudeau has been mendacious about much more consequential matters than crowd sizes. Think of the headscarf ban. He has also tried to introduce his own slippery Newspeak (“tax on pollution”, “irregular border crossers”, “peoplekind”), and it is creepy. Trump, for all his faults, speaks standard American English
David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Andrew Baldwin: Oh So True
Brett Blaikie
Reply to @Andrew
Baldwin: it is fair - but to really be fair, the Trump White House is
pretty clumsy at this stuff - a closer examination of what the Obama
White House did or did not release (and how) would reveal a much more
sophisticated manipulation of the message. Also the whole Cambridge
Analytica/Russia/Trump allegations - as if the DNC never heard of
algorithms and social physics puh-lease.

Why George Orwell's 1984 still matters, 70 years since publication
Social Sharing
CBC Radio · Posted: Sep 06, 2019 2:16 PM ET
Lots of comments went "Poof" but at least I am a man of my word to
even nasty political Trolls within the very unethical Crown Corp
commonly known as the CBC
Michael Peacock
1984 became our reality sometime around 2007 when we started buying
into social media. Now it's a tool of mass manipulation. History is
being altered, words sanitized. Freedom of expression for those who
are not far left or right is done at your own risk. It feels like the
world is becoming a weird place for those of us in the middle who try
to be objective and have no real agenda to pursue. Oh yes, I'd like to
have my more reasonable and objective friend named CBC back. Come back
to the middle...we have cookies!
Philip Anderson
Reply to @Michael Peacock: very well said. I'd go further to say the
way we use social media in the west is destroying our humanity. I
think currently we in the west live in the diametric opposite world to
Orwells vision - we are destroying ourselves not by endless
restriction, but through endless freedom - freedom to harm others at
will, whatever our reason. We turn and violently attack each other
online with the most meagre of provocations. China & Russia, even in
their rather Orwellian surveillance states, I have no doubt they look
at how we treat one another, and justifiably wonder how we could ever
think we have a better way of living than they do. The way we as north
Americans conduct ourselves online is absolutely disgusting- not to
mention profoundly uncivilized- future historians, should freedom of
expression survive the next century, will convict us for our myopic,
narcissistic, completely self destructive stupidity, and we will
deserve every ounce of their criticism. Wed like to, but we cant blame
this on the failures of christianity or politicians, this is a current
mass collective failure as a society. Clear laws governing appropriate
conduct online are needed as how it "works" now isn't working. Walking
up to someone and spitting in their face is assault, so should online
abuse also be prosecutable offenses. If we won't willingly choose to
be civil to one another in our discourse with others, then perhaps
some other forces need to make us, some other forces who are able to
accomplish this goal yet wise enough to heed the warning given by
Orwell stay away from creating the mirror image of the horrible world
he envisioned.
David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Michael Peacock: Methinks many would agree that 1984 was the
reality before Orwell wrote his book trying to inform us of it just
like the Wizard of OZ taught us something before WWII or Alice in
Wonderland long ago N'esy Pas?
Michael Peacock
Reply to @Philip Anderson: you make some good points. I think a lot of
us including me, need to govern ourselves better and be online a lot
less. It skews our perception if we let it. We will always find
examples of awfulness online at any given moment brought directly into
our feed. I find that I don't often, or ever, see people being
harassed or persecuted in my day to day life. I see a lot of people
with mental health/drug addictions and the rest of us with our noses
buried in our phones. Can we at least put our phones down and walk
faster across the street again people.....but I digress.
As soon as I login I see racism, sexism, all the isms. It's
exhausting. Everyone's opinions can be exhausting too. I'm not on
social media right now except for commenting on CBC articles because I
feel like maybe my opinions in small doses should be heard from time
to time. Is that crazy?
Michael Peacock
Reply to @David Raymond Amos: I agree with you on this but social
media took things to a whole next level. We are very vulnerable now to
outside influence. I feel like we are like frogs in a pot of water
right now and things are starting to heat up. I'm going to step back
out of the pot now and go drink beer with some proles and feel better
lol!
